Risk Registers

Risk registers that encompass all of the hazards and control measures for businesses are extremely useful, as it enables a risk analysis to be undertaken and can be a central tool to ensure comprehensive compliance to the applicable HSE legislation.

The range of hazards on construction sites can vary from project management, mobile plant, dangerous goods handling and storage, refurbishment, to manual handling and confined spaces. The known hazards can be considered at the project planning stage and controls be ready to be implemented once works begin.

For static sites, risk registers assist in communicating the risks and the control measures required to ensure the workplace is without risk of injury to personnel. The risk register can be used on an internal intranet and employee access to the database enables effective reviews to be undertaken following incidents or legislation changes. A risk register is an extremely useful tool in the HIRA toolbox to manage HSE across diverse business and operational sites.

HAZCON is currently facilitating a review of a several complex risk registers for a major hazard facility and as well as developing a risk register for a major power generation site.

The review of the risk registers are providing significant improvements in design, operations, health and safety outcomes and project planning.
